Tom the owner is class act. I really felt comfortable with this guy because he explains everything very well. My first experience with them went well that I called them again. My basement was leaking pretty bad, probably had $15,000 worth of damage.
Tom came out on a Sunday, we walked around the house and he explained to me why my concrete walls were cracking, showed me gutter problems, my grade was too low and water drained towards house, basement well drains were plugged, basement wells were too short.
Tom and his team dug around house with a bobcat type skidster, they patched cement walls, put tar on, installed vapor barrier sheets on walls, cleaned down to tile, added drain cloth and rock, installed a tube to surface so a Plummer can scope my tiles, removed short window wells and installed taller wells. He raised the grade of the ground on both sides of the house about 6 inches so the water will drain away from the house. The job took a couple days, they cleaned up nicely, Tom made recommendation and did some extra work for a minimal extra amount of money to do the job right. Tom told me if I ever had any more leaks call him but he thinks this should do the job.
UPDATE: Quite a bit of snow melted, usually water is gushing in the basement, this time my basement was dry as a fresh diaper! :) Nice work Tom

Hired to put a driveway flood drain in - concrete work is AWFUL - looks like a 3 yr old applied it with their hands randomly all over. Already crumbling apart. Highly doubt the drain will do what its supposed too. Does not appear to be pitched properly at key point. Next rainfall...

Choose a professional establishment. Day 1: They broke a water line and left it spraying all over the joists and dripping from them. Crew left didn't say a word had no idea there was a problem until I turned on the kitchen sink. I had to go purchase the cap and cut the line to fix. Day 3:...
Do not hire. Unprofessional. Came to my home twice to work on a clogged drain. First team tapped a hole into the line and did a partial clearing. The second guy, who by the way mentioned that he wasn’t even a plumber at the end of his work, tapped a hole into a different section of the same...

The concrete floor along the wall and a trench to my existing sump pump had to be dug up and drain tile etc put in. This was done. The concrete that was relayed sloped almost two inches. This would make it impossible to put base boards back up. Mr Burke was contacted and set up an appointment...

I was very pleased with work performed and the price. The young man also told me now to completely drain the gas after the snow season before storage, something I did not know.

They got the job done. I had roots in the drain pipe. The price was okay.
We are family owned and operated. We service all brands, makes and models. From furnace and water heater repair and replacements, all the way to a leaking kitchen faucet or bathroom toilet. One call REALLY does it all. Faucets, toilets, sinks, drain rodding, water heaters, boilers, furnaces, air conditioners and humidifiers. New construction to radiant heat. You know you called the pros the first time. Licensed, bonded and insured, we offer easy approval and affordable financing as well!
"I’m extremely satisfied with Regional. We had three sump pumps that needed to be replaced (primary, secondary, and water powered backup). The quote was very reasonable, and they were able to do the work shortly after their initial visit. They replaced everything with Liberty pumps. Justin and Erich did the work and they were very professional. We had them quote out a couple of other items (replacing water heater, etc) and those quotes were also very reasonable. I will definitely hire them for future jobs."

FNJ Landscaping Services has long been leading valued clients to understand the chance of having that dream design for their outdoor spaces for many years.
"The quality of the work was poor, the sod was laid and not rolled out which is preventing the sod from catching and causing the lawn to look uneven, the grass seed/ dirt was spread sporadically over the front lawn without focusing on the bare spots which was the ultimate goal of the seeding. (for treatment/solution to holes in the lawn to promote grass growth in those areas.) Also there was very little grass seeds or dirt spread to back lawn. I brought this to Kevin's attention and he said he would take care of it and that he ran out of dirt, also his response to my calls or e-mails was not timely or not at all. I called and text him on several occasions requesting that he comes to complete the job and he never showed up to complete the job as promised. I also feel the additional cost he charged ($1500) to lay 4 to 5 rolls of sod for 20 ft. x 24 ft. area (480 sq. ft.) , was over priced and he took advantage of me and I am a victim of price gouging. His initial quote he gave me was 3400 (for the seeding, retainer wall removal, aeration, power raking, cutting the grass, plant 1 bush) but I just noticed he has put 3500 on the contract so even in that instance I paid him $100 more than what was agreed upon. The contract that he wanted me to sign was very extensive and "construction focused" and did not address everything we had discussed for this project. It basically was an agreement to ensure payment and cover himself if I did not pay. When I noticed the contract did not list line by line description of the scope of the work I brought that to his attention and asked him to include what the job would intel ( work order) listing what we had talked about. He told me he would bring it when he came to do the job. I didn't receive anything, but he had already came to to start the job. By the time he finally came to start the job I had received a warning from the village due to my grass had grown more then 5 inches waiting for him to come and take care of cutting the grass when he was to start the project. The overall communication and follow up with this company is not good and they do not provide detailed scope of work orders even when requested."

French Drains questions, answered by experts
Yes, pop-up drains commonly get clogged with hair, soap scum, and toothpaste. It is important to know how to properly clean the drain or get professional help to ensure it remains clear and can drain water effectively.
DIY is not recommended due to safety risks and specialized equipment requirements. Hire professionals for effective clearing.
Yes, short hair can clog a drain. While you might be tempted to blame the long-haired people living with you for a clogged drain, hair—no matter the length—can combine with soap scum and leftover shampoo to create a perfect storm of sticky mess that can cause your drain to slow down.
The cost to clean a sewer line is about $370, ranging from about $190 to $550 on average. The specific cleaning method and the problem's severity will impact the project's overall cost.
Some of the most common sewer line cleaning methods include:
Snaking or rodding: $100–$250
Hydrojetting: $350–$600
Chemical treatments: $600–$1,000
Repair or replacement: $1,000–$7,500
If you try a drain snake and various DIY methods for unclogging drains to no avail, bring in a professional plumber to assess the situation. Also, if multiple drains in your home are backing up or you smell sewage, a visit from a plumber is best. You can expect your drain cleaning costs to fall around $250, and this can include an assessment of what’s caught in your plumbing and if there’s a larger, underlying problem. You should also consider calling a pro if you need to snake a toilet, as DIYing this could lead to a cracked fixture.
